Am I a fool or is food stock broken? I'm currently at change +1000, but stock never seems to go above about 5300. Do I need to buy storage space or something?
This is a lovely little game; I gave it a 4 and were it but a bit more fleshed out I'd easily give it a 5.
It'd be nice if you had the option to interact with other characters, but all via the computer, so you never really know if the computer is being truthful or not. E.g. a ship hails you and you can only talk via the computer, "What do you want me to tell them" and that way you never know if the computer is being truthful or not, or what its intentions may be.
Maybe you want to escape the computer, but of course you have to do that via the computer itself. Some little intrigue points like that.
Although I do quite like the slow gameplay, and epecially the roguelike/Dwarf Fortress-like humour of constant death it does start to get even a little grating after a while.
How about an option to purchase extra AP before we start and to jump down to a pre-visited level, for the cost that we forego the money and cheap spells found in the early levels?
That way I can opt to start at level 12 with 7AP, but no extra gold and no spells.
This game is brilliant!
I agree with the others that some expansion on it would be nice, but I'd not want upgrades. I'd rather like a leaderboard at the end, or graphs (if it's doable) where you can see the number of aliens over time and the number of eggs collected over time. This way it's easier to see how you managed your 'crop'.
...Two player version [split-screen and/or co-op] with WASD for Player 1 and cursor keys for Player 2 maybe?
